About Lake Norman Area

The Greater Lake Norman encompasses several counties and cities surrounding the largest man made lake in North Carolina. Locals talk about Lake Norman by describing East side or West Side. East side of Lake Norman is more developed due to the I-77 corridor which runs from Statesville through the east side of the LKN (short for Lake Norman) area to Charlotte. The East side population is concentrated in 4 areas. The towns of Mooresville, Cornelius, Davidson and Huntersville cover most of the east side of the lake. There are many large planned communities that depict lake living at its best on both side of the Lake Norman. The Peninsula and The Point/Trump National of Charlotte are two subdivisions that have both lake living and excellent golf/country club lifestyle.

The West side of Lake Norman is bordered by Lincoln and Catawba counties and is one of the faster growing areas of the Charlotte Metro. The improvement of Hwy 16 to a four lane interstate like road has provided easy access to the town of Denver and its West side lake communities. Lincoln County schools have an excellent reputation in the area providing another draw to the West side of Lake Norman.
